[LargeFormat] Newbie Here

[Tom Micklin]

I have a Wisner 5x7 Lightweight - 7.7#, huge bellows draw (I had him make it
with a Black Bellows which seems more flexible than the Burgundy)
Beautiful camera. But I've gotten almost completely into 8x10 - I'm
considering selling the Wisner and the Old 8x10 Deardorff and picking up a
Gandolfi Variant 8x10 (only 8.8 #, same bellows draw as the Deardorff and a
beautiful Walnut camera)
Anyway, the Wisner 5x7 lightweight is an excellent camera if you are looking
at that format.
